"There are 690,000 official DACA registrants and the president sent over what amounts to be two and a half times that number, to 1.8 million," Kelly said, according to the Washington Post. "The difference between [690,000] and 1.8 million were the people that some would say were too afraid to sign up, others would say were too lazy to get off their asses, but they didn't sign up."

Kelly gave reporters an impromptu interview, saying that he's not sure Trump has the authority to extend DACA after March 5, and that Congress will only act if they're pressured. He also said that Trump's four-part immigration plan proves the president is rooting for the DACA program.

"If before the champions of DACA were members on one side of the aisle, I would say right now the champion of all people who are DACA is Donald Trump — but you would never write that," Kelly said, according to the Post.

House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said that Congress is making very little progress on revamping DACA, but added that negotiators are "pretty close" to an agreement, according to The Hill.

Kelly didn't provide any backup that proves undocumented youth are lazy or fearful. The Center of American Progress, however, has provided a detailed report on the contributions by Dreamers that speak to how hard they work. Their data, which were released last year, show that "DACA recipients continue to make positive and significant contributions to the economy, including earning higher wages, which translates into higher tax revenue and economic growth that benefits all Americans."
